My research addresses the formation and early
evolution of stellar clusters, associations and complexes.
I investigate, thus, star formation across a whole
range of length-scales, from parsec-scale
embedded clusters to kiloparsec-scale spirals and
galactic disks. I particularly focus on the morphology
and time-scale of star formation at various length-scales,
and the dependence of these parameters to the interstellar
medium structure, the local environmental conditions, and galaxy dynamics.

My research potrfolio covers a variety of topics on Galactic
and extragalactic clustered star formation. These topics include the
investigation of young stellar clusters
in the Milky Way, resolved stellar populations in star-forming regions
in the Magellanic Clouds, and galactic-scale star formation across galaxies of the Local Group.

Young stellar clusters, embedded
in star-forming regions of our neighboring galaxies the Large &
Small Magellanic Clouds cover a great part of my research.
My main contribution to this field is the detailed investigation of
young stellar clusters outside our Milky Way for the first time down to
their sub-solar pre--main-sequence stellar regime.
